Application filed, August 3i,

To @ZZ whom t may concern.'

Be it known that l, THOMAS MAHONEY, who ain a citizen of the United States, residing at Detroit, county of Nayna State of Michigan, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Springonnectors, and declare the followingt-o be a full, clear, and eXact description of the saine, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to nalie and use the same, ref-1 erence being had to the accompanying drawings, which forni a part of this speciication.

It is the object of this invention to provide a strip for securing together the coiled springs of a spring construction. More specifically, it is the function of the strip to be able to fasten itself at successive points to coil springs at opposite sides of the strip.

A strip having this capacity and designed to secure coiled springs of staggered relation, to each other is shown in latent No. 1,014,736 issued to L. A. Young. lt is the object oi" the present invention to afford a. strip having the function of the S-strip shown in said prior patent and yet result in a material saving of stock.

ln the drawings- Figure 1, is a plan view of the strip with the adjacent spring portions.

Fig. 2, is a reverse plan View or the strip with the adjacent spring portions.

Fig. a, is a cross-section of the strip. Fig. el, is a side view showing the strip Spectcaton of Letters Patent.

with springs which are arranged in staggered relation, as shown in Figs. l, 2 and 3 of Patent No. 1,014,736 issued to L. A. Young. To provide a strip which will hold springs in staggered relation as already eX- plained, there has heretofore been devised an S-strip. l have now discovered that the single channel strip can bennade to accbniplish this saine function by twisting it so as to make first one section face one direction and the succeeding section face in the opposite direction and the third section face in the direction of the .first section. There is also a very material saving in stock, as, for "instance, about one-third 'or more is saved and when springs are made on a large scale this means a very material saving in cost. i

1n Figs. if and 5 are shown twisted strips used as a diagonal intermediate connector. The strip is diagonal in side View and plan View. lNith the single channel strip heretoiore in use the strip could be used as a diagonal only in side view as it must connect with the saine side of the two springs of a row.

What l claim is:

1. A. spring connector comprising a single channel strip twisted in sections so as to present the channel alternately on opposite sides of the strip.

2. The combination with two or more springs, of a connector in the forni. of a channel strip twisted in section so as to present the channel alternately on opposite sides of the strip and thereby Orip oppositely facing coil portions o adjacent springs.

I n testimony whereof, I sign this specication.
